“Imagine the client says yes to a seven thousand dollar quote, and then hears nothing for four days.”
Quote marked "won" → kickoff email → onboarding task → alert
Now every yes gets an answer by the next morning.
Mark a quote "won" in the sheet: the client gets an email saying what happens next, a kickoff task opens in the onboarding list, and you get an alert.

The problem
The yes arrives, everyone celebrates, and then the client hears nothing for days while the work is scheduled. The silence right after they paid attention to you is where doubt starts. The first email should not wait for a free afternoon.
What happens when it runs
- Every morning: search the quotes sheet for status "won"
- For each: a short kickoff email to the client with the next three steps
- A "kickoff call" task in the onboarding list, due in two days
- The quote moves to "won - kicked off", so the email never goes twice, and a Telegram message tells you who to call
The tools inside
Disclosure: links marked "paid link" pay us a commission from the vendor if you sign up. Your price is unchanged, and every file here works without them. How we choose tools →

- Gmail — email
- Telegram — alerts
Before you start
Three things to have ready before importing, or Make will ask and you will have to leave halfway:
- The quotes spreadsheet id (the same sheet as the quote follow-ups)
- Quotes columns A–E: client, email, amount, sent_date, status
- The onboarding spreadsheet id and tab, columns A–F: date, name, email, task, due, status
- Your name for the signature
- Chat ID
Sheet templates
The file maps columns by position. Start from exactly these headers, in this order — a column in the wrong place writes a phone number into the email column.
- Quotes sheet ·

How to import (2 minutes)
- In Make: Scenarios → Create a new scenario
- At the bottom, the three dots (⋯) → Import Blueprint → choose the file you downloaded
- Click every module with an exclamation mark: choose your connection (Google, Telegram) — Make creates one in a click if you have none

What does not work in it
- It starts from a status you type. Write "won" exactly, in lower case and without a trailing space, or the search does not find the row.
- It runs once a day, so a quote marked "won" in the afternoon gets its email the next morning. Run it hourly if that matters: about 744 searches a month instead of 31.
- It opens one task, the kickoff call. The rest of the onboarding list is yours to add, with an owner for each task.
